When I got back to my room, Jacie was gone. I’m starving, but I’m not in the mood to go to the cafeteria. How dare Creed? I don’t know what kind of girls he’s used to hanging around with, but this girl will never submit to him. He doesn’t own me.

Lucky for me, I’m used to dealing with overprotective wolves, and I know just how to handle them. I’m sure pig-headed dragons are not much different.

I searched the small kitchen area for something to eat, as I contemplated what to do next. I know I need to talk to Dawson. I at least need to explain my reaction to him, but I’ve had all I can take of men’s crap tonight.

I opened the freezer, oh Ben and Jerry’s for the win. Perfect pint size containers, no need for a bowl. I chose the chocolate therapy. It’s perfect after the day I’ve had.

I changed into some comfy pajama pants and curled up on my bed with my ice cream. I may have had a rough day, but the rest of my night with be perfect.

I tried flipping through the channels to find something

    I slept horrible last night. I’m not sure if I’m doing the right thing or not, but I’m going to wing it. As far as I’m concerned, I’m single. If the moon goddess granted me two mates, then I have every right to get to know them both and see what happens.I don’t have class until this afternoon, but I still got up early. I’ve been slacking on my training since I left home, and I want to make a good impression at warrior training this afternoon.I started my morning with a good workout at the campus gym, and then went for a run around my favorite pond. I’m disgustingly sweaty, so I came back to my room to take a quick shower before I head out to breakfast. Even without a lot of sleep, I feel good this morning.I looked in the mirror and smiled. I feel good and I look good today. Simple ripped jeans, and a baby blue crop top. Contrary to what Creed thinks, no one will control me. I will do whatever I want, and today I just want to have a good day.I have half the nerve to go find that gor

    I walked up to Dawson’s table with full confidence. There was no way I was going to let him see how nervous I was.“Hi, I’m Bella. I’m sorry I ran out of here the other day. I just didn’t expect to meet you and it took me off guard.” I held out my hand for him to shake.Dawson nodded and politely shook my hand as he smiled at me. “I didn’t expect to meet you either, but I’m happy I did.”“You look upset. I didn’t mean to offend you. I just had to clear my head.”“Oh no baby, I’m not upset. I’m Just concerned. I got hit with the mate bond, and instead of you running into my arms, you ran out the door. I haven’t seen you since, and then I walked in here and saw you sitting with three dudes. I took it a little personal that you ran away from me.” I shook my head, “again, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like that, and those guys are my family. Ryker Green is my brother, and Ezra and Drake Green are my cousins.”He nodded, “I thought I recognized the Green boys. So that means you’re from Gree

    “Creed, I don’t know if that’s a good idea. Let me think about it. Right now, I need to do some research.” He took a step to the side of me and leaned against the shelf, “What are we looking for?” I smiled, “well, it’s not for a class. I’m trying to figure out what’s on my hip.” I looked into his eyes to make sure he understood what I meant. Creed nodded and looked up at the books on the shelf. “I’ll check the other side while you look here.” I watched him as he walked around the bookshelf. Oh my goddess, that man does something to me. Every time he’s near me I can feel the bond pulling me toward him even stronger. My heart rate spikes, and heat explodes inside my body. It’s like the power that radiates off of him, calls to my magic. It’s a shame he’s such a possessive jerk face. I turned my attention back to the books, but none of them are grabbing my attention. I’m now focused on the sexy dragon that I can see through the books. “So, tell me Bella. How do you see this situa

    “So, tell me Bella, exactly how rough do you like it?”He smirked and put his hand out for me to shake, “I’m Isaac, and I have every intention of getting you underneath me.”He licked his lip again, and I wanted to gag. Yep, I’m going to enjoy this. I smiled and turned my attention back to the professor. He just wants to see where we are with our combat skills. The first one to get pinned loses. Easy enough.He had us spread out around the training grounds. There's plenty of room for all the fights. There's also enough space in between us that the professor can safely walk around to inspect everyone’s skills.Isaac is underestimating me, which means I already have the upper hand. We all took our stance and waited for the whistle. I noticed Isaac was laughing about this drill with his friend. It gave me time to take in his stance and look for any weak spots. I love it when I get to embarrass power-hungry alphas.When the whistle blow, we started circling each other.“Don’t worry baby,

    I’ve been going through this book for hours. There’s a lot of information about past werewolves that were blessed with a mark from the moon goddess. They all received different marks with different meanings. From what I’ve read so far, they all have one thing in common. Multiple mates. It’s almost like a curveball the Moon Goddess throws at us. I wonder if she’s laughing at us as we try to figure out what she wants us to do.In some cases, the werewolf was meant to claim and bond with all of her mates, but in others she was meant to make a choice between them. Either way, the mates were all brought into the werewolf’s life for a purpose. I took a break from reading and looked up at the ceiling. Can you just tell me that much? A little hint as to what I’m supposed to do with my mates.My mind is running in a hundred different directions. How I’m I supposed to know what I’m meant to do. Better yet, what will happen if I mess up and do the wrong thing?I heard a knock on the door. “Com

    I didn’t hold back. I told Jacie everything. She already overheard the main details anyway. She understands why I didn’t tell her, and luckily, she wasn’t mad. I love her carefree attitude. “When and how did this happen,” I pointed between her and Ezra. Jacie laughed, “We met in our first class. He’s the one I was with when you heard me in the hallway. “Oh geez, why didn’t you tell me?”“I didn’t know you guys knew each other until he came here to get your clothes.”“And I just didn’t tell you,” Ezra smirked.I threw my pillow at him, “Now I know why it took you so long to get me an outfit, punk.”“You’re lucky I like you both,” I smirked.“Now that the air is clear, and our secrets are out, what did Josiah say?”Drake’s been giving me a death stare since he got here, and he finally linked me. “Why are we talking about any of this with him here? You promised us you wouldn’t tell your mates yet, but it doesn’t seem like any of this is a surprise to him.”“No, I promised I wouldn’t t

    Creed has been quiet since the boys left. I can tell he’s thinking about everything. He hasn’t told me a lot about his home life, but I have a feeling that something is bothering him. “I’ve got to go relieve some tension. You have my number if you want to meet up later tonight.”I nodded, “OK. I’ll talk to you later.”He gave me a quick kiss before heading out the door. I decided it was best not to question him. I can tell he’s upset, and I know he needs to shift. While he’s hiding his identity, he can only shift at night. He would be seen too easily during the day. “Now that we’re finally alone, tell me what you know about Ezra. I didn’t know you guys were from the same pack.”I laughed, “Actually Jacie, Ezra is my cousin. So, yeah, I know him well. Our family is really close.”“I had no idea. He is so sweet, and funny, and.”“And if you finish that sentence, I’m going to smack you.” I laughed. “Sexy,” Jacie smiled.I hung my head and laughed. “The Green boys are popular with the

    I opened my eyes to Ryker, Drake, and Ezra all standing over me.“I’m sorry,” is all I could say as I took in their expressions. Drake and Ryker both look pissed, while Ezra looks more concerned.“What happened? You were fine when we left you. That was only a couple of hours ago,” Ryker said as he helped me sit up.“I went to a party with Jacie.”“Damn it, Bella! You clearly can’t drink,” Ryker yelled.“I only had one beer. It wasn’t the alcohol that made me lose control.” I bit my bottom lip as I took a deep breath.“Are you OK?” I looked behind the boys to see who else was there. “Dawson, how long have you been here?”“Long enough,” he looked at me like I had a third eye.I turned my head and looked up at the boy’s. Drake’s eyes are flickering. He’s so upset, he’s fighting his wolf for control.I looked back at Dawson, “I can explain.”“I’d like to hear that explanation too.” Great, someone else is walking up behind Dawson. I closed my eyes for a minute. Shit, please don’t tell me

    As the meeting came to an end, I felt a lot better about everything. I finally realized why I was marked by the Moon goddess. I feel foolish that I never realized why the rogue problem was so bad, and that the wars between species were leaving so many people helpless. This meeting has definitely been an eye-opener. I was chosen to bring the supernatural species together, and I refuse to fail.I don’t expect to ever have complete peace, but the pointless wars need to end. I sent text messages to Dawson and Rowen, and they’re both coming tomorrow night. The boys are busy trying to find information on Ezra’s mate, and I finally get some much-needed alone time with Creed.With everything going on, I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders, but I also feel completely at peace. Like this is exactly where I’m supposed to be at this moment. Walking hand in hand through my pack with Creed. The moon is high, and the stars are shining bright. I still want to be mad at him, but I mi

    “Does anyone have paper and a pen?” I asked. “I just had a thought, but I need to write down the connections to see if it makes any sense.”Mom went into the house and came back out with a notebook and pen. I used everyone’s initials to make the connections of which leaders are against me and which ones support me. Starting with my fated mates. C – dragon king – against me, D – Bear king against me, R – Alpha hole – against me. R – priestess supporter, V & D – Vampire king - ? Supporter, I – quiet alpha - ? Supporter. I took a minute to look around at everyone and noticed that most of my family just realized the same thing as me.“I was fated to a powerful heir from the species that are against other supernaturals. It was the Moon Goddess’s way of bringing us together. Maybe her way of making them see how much things need to change.”I noticed a lot of confused faces, “think about it. Dad, Alpha, Beta, when you met your mates and still to this day, you would do anything for them. You

    “We’re going to have to finish this later. Dad’s calling for me. A lot has happened since you left, and I might have messed up during the meeting.” Creed rubbed his hands up and down my upper arms as I slightly pulled away from him. “Whatever happens, we will get through it together, I’m not going anywhere.”I nodded and laced my fingers with his as I led him around the house to the backyard. I couldn’t hide my smile as we entered my backyard. All the adults, the boys, and Zadie were sitting on the deck, and the younger kids were all playing in the yard. I’m excited and nervous about introducing Creed to my family. Luckily, the introductions went well, and my mom and my aunts gave me a smile and nod of approval as they looked Creed over. Yeah, I know he’s gorgeous and he’s all mine. My dad shook Creed’s hand, “Alpha Kain just got off the phone with your brother. He’s on his way over.”I took my seat on the deck railing, and Creed sat in the chair next to me.“Did everything go OK w

    None of us said a word as we walked out to the car. My dad looks like he’s a mix of proud and concerned. Yeah, there’s a long lecture coming my way, but it was so worth it. I can’t read the look on Uncle Kain’s face, but Uncle Gavin looks proud. Even if he is trying to hide his smirk.As soon as our car doors shut, I had four sets of eyes on me.“What the hell were you thinking,” my dad yelled.“Are you completely crazy,” Ryker added.“That was awesome. Did you see the look on their faces?” Ezra smiled wide until my dad and Ryker stared him down. Drake just ran his hand through his hair and shook his head. “Don’t be mad at me, someone had to tell them how stupid they're acting. They act like it’s normal to hate each other, just because of the species you were born as. You have all these Alphas and kings in the same room acting tough, but nobody has the guts to call them out on their crap.”“There’s a reason for that, Bella. I don’t want you to think I’m mad about you standing up for

    I didn’t mean to say that out loud. I looked at my dad, and he just ran his hand over his face.“Is this your girl gamma?” Rowen’s dad said.“Yes, she’s my oldest.”Rowen’s dad looked back at me, “I thought you were a wolf. What are you?”“My genetics are my business. The important thing is, I didn’t kill the vampires?”I noticed Cyrus had a smirk on his face, yep, he knows who I am.“Why didn’t you kill them? We don’t need to worry about blood suckers. If they attack you, take them out.”“No disrespect sir, but I don’t think you have a right to tell me how to act. If that’s the way you think, then you’re not any better than the fallen dragon king.”“You don’t know who you’re talking to, little girl.”My dad stood up to defend me, but I jumped up and grabbed his arm.“Let me handle this,” I linked him.He glared at Rowen’s dad for a minute but nodded to me and sat back down.“I know exactly who I’m talking to. If you think that I should have killed the vampires, then I should have kil

    This week has been a rough one, but hopefully we can get some answers tonight. The boys have been helping our dads locate the Blood Moon Pack. We’re hoping to find Abby, so Ezra can explain the situation. If she is meant for him, she should understand and forgive him.I’m hoping we can get more information at the meeting. I’m nervous for Ezra, and to find out what’s going on with Creed. I need to know that he’s OK and not lying in a ditch somewhere.“Bella, let’s go. It’s a meeting not the prom,” my dad yelled up the stairs.I took one last look in the mirror before heading downstairs to meet the boys. The butterflies in my stomach are driving me crazy. Calm down Bella, you’re just there to listen. I keep telling myself. The drive to the convention center was quick. Dad gave me the run-down on how these meetings usually work on the drive. The Alpha’s all sit at their designated tables with their Beta and Gamma’s behind them, and the heirs sit in the last row along the wall. Whoever c

    We all just stared at him. No one knew what to say. Finally, my aunt Violet piped up.“OK, what can you tell us about her?”My aunt’s trying to keep him calm, but I can see the wheels turning in all of our parents' eyes. There has to be a way to fix this.Ezra swallowed hard, “it’s kind of a blur. I was coming out of the dining hall, and I picked up her scent as soon as I walked out of the door. She was headed into the library. She was beautiful.”He took a minute and closed his eyes as he ran his hand through his hair. “I followed her into the library. She was curled up in one of the lounge chairs reading a book. She looked so peaceful.” Ezra shook his head to snap himself out of it.“Anyway, she’s a wolf from the blood moon pack. Her name is Abby Jennings.”My aunt Violet nodded and gave my uncle Gavin a look, pleading for him to fix this.My uncle Gavin nodded and put his hand on Ezra’s shoulder, “take your time, but I need you to tell us everything, son. You won’t be in trouble, b

    “Ezra, where in the hell did you get those cookies?” I closed my eyes as I already knew the answer. It was right there in front of our faces this whole time.“She said she loves to bake, but only for the people that she loves. I thought she was just trying to show me how much she cared about me.” Ezra sat there staring at Tate completely stunned like the rest of us.“How long have you been eating them?”“A couple of weeks, maybe a month. I was starting to get sick of them, but I was trying to be nice. So, I gave the ones she sent home with me to Tate. I figured what she didn’t know wouldn’t hurt her.”“Let me get this straight, a witch has been baking you cookies for a month. She told you that they were only for you, and you ate them.” I glared at him from across the table.“Well, yeah, but she wasn’t just any witch, she was Jacie. I’ve been with her since I got to Moonlight. I trusted her, we all did.”“Aunt Violet, we need you.” I yelled to her, and she gave me a curious look.“Wha

    After the long chat I had with my dad and a good night’s sleep, I feel a lot better. As I walked into my uncle’s house, Tate the tornado was running full speed ahead. Dropping cookie crumbs on the floor behind him.“Bella, Ezra said I could have his whole box of cookies.”I laughed, “I can see that. Did you get any of them in your mouth?”Ryker walked through the door behind me. “Hey buddy, are you causing trouble already today?”Tate shook his head no, “Ezra gave me his cookies.”Ryker looked at the vanilla frosted cookie, “You’re a lucky boy. Ezra doesn’t ever share his cookies. He even calls them Ezra only cookies.”I shook my head. You guys are weird. Ezra and my cousin Zadie finally came downstairs.“It’s about time, we should have been at the gym a half hour ago, slackers.”“Calm down, Drakes not even here yet.” Zadie yelled at him.“Bella, do you want to see my dress for this weekend?”I smiled, “Yes. Sweet 16 are you excited?”“I’m nervous,” she said as she pulled me upstairs
